G. I seen the movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin" and they have had to derive all the information they could to make that movie from 50 cent or Curtis Jackson. So they had to have got his autobiography and had him to help the producers make that movie. It illustrates Curtis Jacksons life and how he came from a slum to a million dollor rapper he is today. They wouldn't be able to make that movie though if they didn't derive the information before hand they needed to do so.

H. Article from the book "The Outsiders"
"The Greasers, who are generally poverty-stricken, derive their nickname from the grease they use to slick back their hair."
I found this article online at wikipedia.com, "The Outsiders." This sentence is describing who the greasers are and how they get their nickname by the way they display their hair with the grease they use to slick it up.
